I've installed this patch. We'll see what happens.
I would tend to think any subtle issues have already been addressed
when we started using various files (particuliarly obstack) from
libiberty.
Once we're satisfied that this is working correctly, we should start
removing some of special code to get obstack, getopt, cplus-dem, etc
from the libiberty sources.
